4. Place the correct amount (see Table 6.1 Calibration Volumes)

of a known ORP solution (we recommend Zobell solution)
into a clean, dry or pre-rinsed transport/calibration cup.

WARNING: Calibration reagents may be hazardous to your

health. See Appendix D Health and Safety for more information.

NOTE: Before proceeding, ensure that the sensor is as dry as
possible. Ideally, rinse the ORP sensor with a small amount of
solution that can be discarded. Be certain that you avoid cross-
contamination with other solutions.

5. Carefully immerse the sensor end of the probe module into

the solution.

6. Gently rotate and/or move the probe module up and down to

remove any bubbles from the ORP sensor.

NOTE: The sensor must be completely immersed. Using the
recommended volumes from Table 6.1 Calibration Volumes
should ensure that the sensor is covered.

7. Screw the transport/calibration cup on the threaded end of

the probe module and securely tighten.

NOTE: Do not over tighten as this could cause damage to the
threaded portions.
